"Decratic lived in the same period of life as the lycan and his mate, but also at the same time as the first Serafim. It was the first Serafim that had defeated him and purified his power. The magic Decratic had was purely evil and only the Serafim could really kill them."
"What is this Decratic? Is it a creature?"
Haco shook his head, his brows creased tightly. "He is a powerful dark sorcerer. I am not sure, since there is not much information about him, the information about him is even rarer than what was known of the lycan. But, from what I read and remembered, Decratic fell in love with the first Serafim and wanted her for himself, so the Holy war happened. The first Serafim won it and she locked and erased all the information about him."
"Fell in love? What is it? A romantic history?" Jace frowned. He stared at the symbol on the wall, a few parts of which had faded. "Are you sure it’s the same symbol? After all, some parts have disappeared."
"I am sure, here." Haco pointed his finger to the middle of the symbol. "This is the symbol of five swords."
"It looks like a flower to me."
"A Serafim is protected by five special Holy Knights. They act as her personal guards, later on, when the first Serafim passed away, she gave her power to her five Holy Knights, which was in turn restored inside their swords and the swords are passed down to the holy knights from the next generations to protect the next Serafim."
Haco tried to recall the history of the Holy Kingdom in the Andelus continent, since it was normal that they were clueless about the story of another kingdom and their knowledge about the other continent only grazed the surface.
Even the people from the same continent were not really aware of the story, mostly because they couldn’t read, or they didn’t care about what happened in the past.
"It is known that the first Serafim is the most powerful one in the history." He touched the symbol where the five swords were drawn in a circle, which made it look like a flower. "Decratic put the symbol of the five swords in the center, while surrounded it with his own symbol, as he tried to depict the Serafim was within his grasp, or in some literature, he was trying to say black magic surrounded the divine power and the Serafim was trapped inside it."
"He must be a sick guy," Grace mumbled.
"Probably, but the amount of sorcerers and magic people was not small. He could have won the Holy War, if it was not for the Serafim who decided to kill him and his worshiper."
"What choice would she have if it’s not to kill him?" Grace was immersed in the story as well, as she and Jace asked a few questions here and there.
"The problem is; when the Serafim touched dark magic, she absorbed it and absorbing a tremendous amount of Decratic’s demonic power along with his worshipers’ led her to her early death." Haco narrowed his eyes. "She died around a month after the war, but a new Serafim had appeared two days before her death."
"How can they decide on a new Serafim?" Jace asked. "I thought, the title of Serafim passed down to their children, no?"
